Pharmacies across New Jersey will be making Naloxone – the opioid-overdose reversal drug – available for free, anonymously, and without a prescription on Tuesday, June 18, 2019. Naloxone will be distributed one dose per person on a first-come, first-serve basis. Naloxone can reverse overdoses from opioids by blocking the effects of opioids on the brain. People who obtain naloxone during the June 18 distribution day will also be given information regarding addiction treatment and recovery. Participating pharmacies have standing orders in place for the dispensing of naloxone. The one-day distribution of free naloxone is part of a pilot program approved by the New Jersey Board of Pharmacy.There were more than 3,000 overdose deaths in New Jersey last year.
